Have any of you successfully converted from R-12 to R134a. Have a Bm23 that was purchased for 200. Stays at 40 degrees--no lower. Cleaned the evaporator core, changed thermosat--door seals good. Compressor cycles on and off--on about 10 minutes and off for about 15-20. Have concluded it must be low on freon. I am thinking about putting in a some R-12, if I can find a can somewhere--hope that it is a very slow leak and will last a long time before having to add more or maybe just seeing about changing out the freon from 12 to 134a. What would it take besides vaccuming out the system and cleaning with solvent to remove oil in the system. I have seen where it is recommended to change the dryer--don't see a dryer or any other valves--am I missing something.
Thanks for any advice.
